Waking up in the morning had to be one of the worst and best feelings. Worst because a new day had begun, possible full of drama. And the best, knowing that the previous days drama was over.

It was an eventful day yesterday. My sister getting back together with the guy I’ve been having dreams about and my ex telling he misses me. Probably one of the most eventful days I’ve had in a few months.

School. Yet another boring day, more boring lessons and more chances to stare at the back of Harry's beautiful head. Ellie doesn’t go to school to ‘study’ on Fridays, which gives me a break from her nagging me, asking for all the answers.

Slopping out of my bed, I walked into the bathroom and got a quick, but refreshing shower.

I did not once exit my room last night, there was no need to. And since Ellie would have probably still been sucking Harry’s face off, I didn’t really want to walk into that again. I had everything I need in my room. Laptop, phone, food and water. 

I spend most of my time in my room. I hardly ever socialise, I’ve never been that person. Apart from having a few friends dotted around school, in their own little cliques’ and Gemma of course, I’ve never really ‘fit in’ anywhere. Always the outsider. I was the quite one, who sat at the back of the class and didn’t talk. Although, I got the highest grades in the class, everybody thought that I was the nerd. 

Just because my parents work for a big industry I can hardly remember the name of doesn’t mean I’m the snob of the class. The reason I get good grades is because my mother and father push, and push and push until the finally can get the A* grades out of me. And they don’t even give me credit. Sometimes they don’t even care. There more bothered about their previous company...Greenways? Greenwoods? Yeah Greenwoods. And of course, Ellie. 

They put their time into the company and there star daughter of the family. The one there actually proud of. Sometimes my mother cares, when she’s not stressed with work business. But my father, he’s an ass. In the morning, I'd say hi to him and he’d just wave his hand in the air, like he wasn’t interested. But when Ellie greets him, he puts on this really teethy smile and kisses her on the cheek. Never once has he done that to me. Ever

To be honest, I don’t even care. I know I should care that my father doesn’t even talk to me and only wants me to get the top grades, but I don’t. 

“Time for school Chloe”, I hear my annoying fathers voice yell from downstairs. I’m surprised he even remembers my name. 

Lightly putting on some makeup, tying my hair back into a ponytail and getting dresses, I took to the stairs. Coming out of my room, the same time as my sister gave me a chance to apologise for my actions yesterday. 

“Ellie, look... I’m erm...Sorry about yesterday. I don’t know what it was really” I said to her pulling my back over my shoulder making it secure. 

“Its alright, I shouldn’t have just ignored you when you came in yesterday. Well, I shouldn’t have made you leave in the first place. I’m sorry too”. Nodding my head in response to her apology I followed her down the stairs. 

“Bye daddy” she said kissing my jack-ass of a father on the cheek before hopping in mom’s car. 

Taking a breath in and out I had to say something to him. 

“Bye” a quick and simple bye to my father who doesn’t care about me. I reached for the door handle but my arm was being tugged back by his forceful grip. 

“Chloe, I got a phone call from Mrs Jenner late last night, saying that Cody was very upset” 

Oh god, why was Cody’s mom calling my dad. He couldn’t want to be around me that much that he’d go home crying...could he? 

“What about?” I asked, trying to act dumb. 

“You. He told his mother that you said some awful things to him”  

I didn’t say anything that bad for him to go home crying to his mommy. 

“I didn’t say anything that bad, dad”. Rolling my eyes at him, I squirmed out of his tight grip. 

“You shouldn’t have said anything to him at all. I told you to stay away from him, didn’t I?” his voice was getting louder and I was getting scared. 

“Yes father you did” 

Why do I always do this? I always let him get an advantage over me. I hated being like this. Being so vulnerable. It made me week and an easy target for people. I wish I could just be stronger and more independent. But that’s just not me. 

“Good. Now go to school and work hard. I want to see all A* on your report card when you get home” 

Shit. I totally forgot about the report cards today. I was so focused on daydreaming about Harry that I started to drop my grades in History. Dads gonna kill me when he finds out. 

Walking out the front door fast so he doesn’t stop me again I climb into the passenger’s seat of my mother’s car and Ellie drives me to school.
